eBay Stealth 3.0
 

Hey guys, how's it going?

In a couple days I'm going to start work on eBay Stealth 3.0!

I want to know what you guys want to see first and foremost.

Write down your wish list and I'll work on it.

Thanks,

I would like to see a section about privacy early in the book. Very much like you have already, but maybe more concise early on, and the details re-organized and spread out where they chronogically fit in...

Basic concept at the opening, and the details salted in later.

Nothing huge or drawn out and detailed. An introductory blurb that tells people from the start that they need to keep a towel wrapped around their heinee at all times and that they need to update their own knowledge from time to time. Like software and hardware upgrades, we need wetware upgrades too. And a reminder that privacy issues do change, so we/they need to periodically review what's old and what's new.

Simply a quick overview (links for people to follow for more info):
Your IP address (and why to mask it)
Cookies (how they work and how they work against you)
Flash (same as for cookies)
Local Cache and History (why clean it and how often)
Sharing of personal info between sites (CC, Bank, PP, Ebay, Auctiva)(what does and doesn't happen)
Keeping it all sorted (windows logins)
Why people should be concerned and how to be careful early on.
Things to implement before you start the first step of making your new stealth.

The value here is that people would avoid being linked to old info before it happens, they would know in general (before it's too late) that privacy IS stealth.

Then later on, include snippets of or more links to pertinent support data in the sections where it applies the most.

And maybe near the end or in an appendix, links or info for the Hardcore eNinja or the wannabees in training <grin>

Okay, good info vic, I understand.

Even the order of 'velcro's post could be changed. A brief definition of stealth and what that means, eg, no use of old info etc.

Rules of forum need revamp. I know that's a side issue.

I like both vics and GB's posts...I definitely agree with GB on the "definition" of stealth at the top.

Cover vero more in details, Ebay payments, drops... I may be leaning towards the black hat methods more than white which I think wasnt the plan haha

Blackhat is my middle name. :)

I think this update will be deep. At this point you guys just added 10-20 pages of content to the eBook without knowing it.

I think 10 of those pages are going to have to be covering vero...I think a lot of people actually get confused by what vero actually is...

Is it looking like the book is going to be more than just being "stealth" on ebay now?

Vero will have to be done under advisement. My immediate thought is spoonfeeding. That gives me an idea to cover the matter :spy:

Hmm, I want to keep it on Stealth stuff. I'll talk about VeRo, give tips and what not, but it's not going to be a how to guide on selling VeRO items.

Sound like a large project developing. Yummy.
I suggest vero be carefully considered before committing.

I don't think it will be bad if the book just explains exactly what vero is and maybe a few tips.

You can lead a horse to water but you can not make it drink.....
apply that to veRo ;)

I think it is important to stress early on in the book.....that people attempting this stuff have to make sure that ALL points are covered including the external url image hosting on sites like Auctiva. And if EVERYTHING is NOT covered they will get linked.

aspkin,
will we be able to get our stealth book updated free to 3.0?

I believe updates are always free! :)

yes .

Maybe a section on use of credit cards with eBay and more info on how to precisely move away from or greatly limit Paypal in your eBay business.

It seems a lot is changing with VCCs and gift cards. A lot of the ones we used to use are no longer able to be used. I would like to see an updated list of VCCs available.

I think the Stealthbook 1.0 was great, and it was well organized. I would like to see the exact same content, but just have each section updated.

As much as it changes and as rapidly in recent times, VCC list would be outdated quickly in hard-copy of the guide (IMO). But the means to an end could use an assigned updater maybe.

Just a thought.

*coughs* I update it. oops...needs to be updated soon:peace:

Pretend I never said a word then. I don't like the dunce hat or the corner.

aspkin, i think i lost my keys. am i able to get another or can you look that info up in your vault?

Yeah probably, send me a pm.

Long time no see as my Chinese friends say.. :-)
I am back in this forum and ready to help and be helped.

We need more specialised info for Non US Ebay sellers. There are people out there ready to pay good money for this ebook but worths nothing for them if its only for US, UK and maybe Australian sellers.
I want to grab the chance and THANK aspkin for the new "International" subcategory. Its a good move on the right direction.

The stealth ebook is priceless aspkin but I've come to find that your forum is mission critical. You can't get this sort of interaction / support for the price. So perhaps go a little more in detail about the forum, nothing much. I hope you understand my point.

An update on working VCCs and Phone Number Trials that work with eBay. Also, maybe a section on how to sell higher priced items with a newer account (ie; what should you do starting, how long can you wait minimally, etc.). Also, a group of 21 day hold workarounds could be nice as well. :)

I would'nt change a thing. Giving up good tricks is bad business. Why can't people PM each other for advice.

Yay for Hercules! Love what he said. There are givers and there are takers. Stealth has it nicely balanced at the moment. Everyone who uses it can get something to help their business.:peace:

AGREED!!! I enjoy getting PM's from people :)

Hi Aspkin,

Here's my opinion (for what it's worth):

I would like to see more information on Paypal set up and verification. For example if the set up is done the correct way you don't need to phone verify on Paypal. Perhaps a list of what info lifts what limits and a step by step guide setting up the Paypal account.

Keep up the great work.

Regards.

Everyone's opinion matters here. We can use all the input we can get! :)

I think we should all talk in riddles.

:spy: We should already ;)

Hey Aspkin (Blackhat?)...anyway...there is a nasty rumor going around about paypal asking for DL#'s now. Do you know if there is any credibility to this? As I replied to one thread, how much more personal information can Paypal legally and legitimatly ask a member for, whether you are a Paypal verteran or a newbie?
There HAS TO BE a line to be drawn. I'm not only speaking in a Stealth point of view, but protection for a "Persons" own privacy.
Seriously, anyone working for Paypal that is beyond PC savy and has the slightest bit of "Hacking" knowledge, would not only have your SSN, because it is Required, they would have your DL# because it would also be "Required".

Honesty, Trust and Integrity only go so far in a business invironment. When you turn the light out though....the cockroaches (thieves) normally come out to feed.

Thanks!

Table of contents (+ relating thread links for people to review updated info on to the forum)
How to change you IP address ( if you have a fiber optics i.e no modeum)
Means to an end list, (what doesnt work)
What items you need before you start a stealth set up ( i.e Bank account, email, VCC or CC ect..)
Examples of creative ways to over come limitation ( Invoices, ID's Ect..)
Just a thought.

Thanks bud, will add those to the to-do list.
